It wants you to be miserable. It wants you to cry yourself to sleep every night. It wants you to crumble to paces. It wants you to stay down forever. But you have to get back up. You can't have death controlling you. You have to look in to the future, and realize that it does gets better.
You cannot blame yourself. Death will make you feel like it was your fault. It will make you think, "what if I was there when it happened, maybe I could have stopped it," or "If I told her/him not to go out, maybe they still would be alive." NO STOP! It's not your fault, it never was.
The pain gets easier to deal with. It won't completely go away but it will get better. I know this for myself, because I lost someone close to me. It seems like my life was over, but I told myself that I can have this affect my life to much. So I got back up and I’m still going. It doesn't mean that I forgot about that person. No they will always be with me.
"it does get better. Life goes on. Sometimes it may not seem like it, but I promise you it does."
